Put the main length of yarn back on your needle. Weave that 6-inch length of yarn back through 5 or 6 beads to secure it, then trim off end. When you reach the end of row 3, take your needle off the yarn and put it on the 6-inch length that was left at this side. Continue on in this manner, adding one bead at a time, then passing needle and yarn through bead from previous row.

Leave equal lengths of ribbon on each side, tie knot in top center, and then tie into a bow.įor the third row, put the long length of yarn back on needle and by stringing on one bead at a time, thread the first bead of row 3 on your yarn, then pass your needle and yarn through the bead to the left from the previous row 2. Starting with the last bead, pull this ribbon through every other bead to make the first row of beads separate from the second row. Take your needle off the yarn and put the length of ribbon on the needle.

Leave a 6-inch tail at the left side of your work (you will weave this in later to secure it). Start from the top of the graph and string on the first 2 rows of beads at once. See below for close-up photos and step-by-step instructions. Beads are added one at a time, then anchored in place by passing needle and yarn through the bead next to the new bead from the previous row. Odd-numbered rows are worked right to left, even-numbered rows are worked left to right. Pull yarn tightly so beads fit snug, but not so tight that the beads curl and bend out of straight rows. * Thin ribbon to hang banner - 18 inches in length * 4-ply yarn in color matching the background beads. * Pony Beads - either the smaller 4x7mm beads or the larger 6x9mm beads.
